seedless varieties of blackberry/raspberry

I am looking to find one or more varieties of seedless berries I can get my picky family members to eat. Bushes, brambles, or plants are all OK but not trees. The area I have for growing is in partial sun, it gets about 4-6 hours most days. I am hoping that some people will know of specific varieties that are available.

Sorry but there are no seedless blackberries or raspberries. The few that might be touted as seedless (ie, Rubus idaeus) still have seeds although they might be quite small compared to other varieties.

btw, blackberries and raspberries are typically woody stemmed, thorny perennials, commonly referred to as brambles. They are not trees!!

Thanks to you both. I thought that might be the case, but also thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. In my experience there are people on these forums who know more than I can find in a week of scouring the internet.

These are not seedless, as I'm also not aware of seedless varieties. But I picked up 3 of these plants last year at the garden center. I purchased a blackberry, raspberry & a blueberry. These are designed for planting in any garden. They are pretty & edible shrubs. I have a 6 year old who doesn't like a lot of fruit, but he loved going around looking for things to eat in the garden. It was great for him to learn about food growing; and I liked that they are attractive to grow in pots or mixed perennial beds. Here's the link - they were readily available at many places last year. https://www.bushelandberry.com/varieties

Have you considered blueberry bushes? They take a couple of years to start bearing but once established are easy to take care of. Though not technically seedless, the tiny seeds are so unobtrusive that they might as well be. Besides, blueberries are a favorite of most kids (and adults). Birds love them too, even more than raspberries, so you might have to protect them from the birds.
